MySQL Reviews

The main feature that I cherish in MySQL is the ability of my students to deploy it locally without the complexities of intricate configurations and deployment mechanisms. I used MySQL as part of the Bitnami WAMP stack (MariaDB is now packaged in Bitnami) to get a complete server bundle that is easy for students to deploy and configure. Before I relied in my teaching on a networked Oracle installation that was not that performance efficient and didn't give students the chance to configure the server environment. Moreover, with a networked configuration testing various SQL concepts would be a bit complex compared to having a local database installation.

Changing the open-source license by Oracle was a bit disappointing. MariaDB is a kind of open-source alternative to MySQL with very similar features and architecture.

The performance and scalability of MySQL are outstanding. It's easy to use and integrates well with other software.

The lack of official support and documentation can be frustrating at times. Some advanced features are complex to implement.

The SQL service of MySQL it's Great beside that was the first SQL management language that I learned at university.

Some university instructors didn't not want us to use it in our projects where telling us to use SQL Server.

Despite being available for free, MySQL has numerous functionalities that are also present in commercial products like SQL Server.

The majority of other databases, save for MySQL, offer data transfer between DB and distributed file systems like AWS S3.

Free, easy to install and configure, good support of many programming languages and a big community. The documentation is very detailed.

Lower perfomance than other database options, the monitoring feature can be improved and the configuration for distributed databases should be easier to set

Very user friendly and easy to learn and connect

Large datasets are not easily supported and may not be compatible

I like normalization on MySQL and also love query style.

I don't like slow. If I compare with MySQL and MongoDB, MongoDB is so fast.

Easy to Impliment,its fast and Accurate,good connectivity with multiple platform,and works everywhere

Large data complexicity,sometimes gets intigration issues with third party applications

MySQL is one of the most widely used databases, meaning there’s extensive documentation, community support, and established best practices that can assist in troubleshooting and optimization.

Compared to other databases like PostgreSQL or Oracle, MySQL lacks some advanced features such as full-text search and partial indexes, which may be a limitation for certain use cases.

The artistic and technical skills and experience they have met my requirements and ambitions

None of the business or technical processes were bad, but they were all present and used well

Its simple, cheap product. IT is also one of moust popular DB engines for PHP. There are many materials and instructions online on how to use MYSQL, for sure more then for Oracle.

Its not so stable as otcher ,not free, solutions.

SQL is one of the best programs that deal with relational databases, that is, those that are based on relationships between tables. It also provides many advantages for data, including high protection, privacy, and integrity.

One of its disadvantages is that it is difficult for beginners to deal with, due to the large number of tools and commands in it

We have being using MySQL for a number of years now and are very happy wih it. We found the training courses extremely useful and the support options are very helpful also

We have had nothing but positive experiences to date with MySQL

Works ok and is simple to use. The most important is a low-cost SQL solution

Some commands are not equal to other SQL platforms.

It's scalable and highly compatible with lots of programming languages. The syntax follows standard SQL; there is plenty of documentation online for finding out exactly how to write queries. MySQL is easy to spin up in the cloud or on a web host of any size.

Store Procedures. I kind of wish they wouldn't make these anymore, because they're hard to debug and rarely work. Also, table COLLATION is almost impossible to migrate. Backups are kind of iffy.

We had lots of data and used MySQL to write queries and get results. This helped get really structured and useful data very quickly.

Error debugging can be tricky and learning all the commands.

I like the UI and its easy to use we can store huge data in forms of rows and columns also we can create multiple databases.

You should be knowing the SQL language as every operation needs a query to run and one mistake can cause error in whole table.

- great security features plus many other wide compatibility- it has great community support

- certain functions are quite limited & complex- not highly cost effective

Been using it for years, it just keeps on working.

User management is a bit of a pain, I can't help thinking it should be easier

The way to create database in a very fast way. The cheaper cost.

The way how to create indexes for each table
